LG Electronics teams up with ace photographer NICCOLO COSME

LG Electronics teams up with Niccolo
Cosme to enable dreams and keep them alive

What happens when you put a revolutionary
smartphone in the hands of a talented and visionary photographer? LG
Electronics taps Filipino photographer Niccolo Cosme in a project inviting
everyone to unleash their inner greatness.

Niccolo Cosme started a career in
photography in 2001 and since then used his craft to leave a legacy. In the
last few years, his works has already been showcased in New York, Vietnam,
Macau, and Cambodia, to name a few.

In 2007, he started Project Headshot Clinic
where he shoots profile photos of friends and celebrities for free to promote
awareness and causes that are significant to him. As a photographer, Niccolo is
attached to immortalizing moments and memories through photographs and “See the Greatness in You” is just one of
the many projects that he engaged with to do so.

He shares his mother opens her home in
Kawit, Cavite to children every summer and offer refresher classes before the
school year starts. Through generous donations from close families and friends,
Niccolo’s mom are able to provide new school supplies to these children by the
end of the program so they will be motivated and eager to start every school
year right.

A self-professed “dream-enabler,” Niccolo
was more than happy to be able to integrate his craft to a tradition that has
become close to his heart and hoped that through this joint project with LG
Philippines, he will inspire children from his hometown to strive for education
and pursue their dreams.

Last May 23, Niccolo and his team gathered
together at Aguinaldo Shrine and set up their makeshift studio. The only gear
missing on that day’s project was a professional DSLR camera. For someone who
is used to a full gear of DSLR cameras complete with different sets of lenses,
this is the first time for Niccolo to use only a smartphone to do a studio
shoot.

Niccolo relied solely on the remarkable
camera features of the LG G4; the built-in expert mode allows any user to
adjust settings such as shutter speed, exposure, aperture, white balance levels
just as you would with a standard DSLR camera. Also, apart from JPEG files, the
LG G4 is also equipped to save in RAW file format which leaves photos completely
untouched from editing. Niccolo was really impressed because it was easy to use
the LG G4 during the shoot and the quality of the photos comes at par as if a
professional DLSR camera was used.

That day, Niccolo shot portraits of around
fifty students in location and on May 25, he returned with his team to Kawit,
Cavite and gave back each child their very own portraits.

“We
consider it a privilege to work with someone who believes and shares in our
philosophy of making life good and worth living,” says LG Mobile
Philippines Vice President Jay Won.
